🥾AXTON🥾

With my anger at eruption level I wanted to lash out. At Rosalinda. The door. Even Herc, though her behavior wasn't his fault. I turned my stare away from Rosalinda and breathed in and exhaled. As I didn't want Herc to think he'd did anything wrong.

"Go. Inside. Please, baby." I attempted to sound less commanding, but based on his pouty lips I failed.

"You're not the one in trouble.."

Herc's frown instantly turned into a wide grin.

"But you will be if you don't go." His smile disappeared while the pouty lips returned, but he did as I asked.

I smacked his ass as he walked pastand he shot me a wanting glance before entering the bar. I turned around and thankfully Rosalinda had decided to stay put. I was honestly at a loss that I'd hired such a woman. But reminded myself that it takes time to see people's true colors.

"I want yoy to pack your bags and leave," I coldly stared, hoping to scare her into submission.

"Why? Scared I'm stealing your man?" She angled her body as she crossed her arms.

Dammit to hell, her little retort gave my hands and fingers the itch to strangle her.

"You need to leave before I do something I shouldn't to a lady."

I don't think you'll dare, at the risk of seeing the twins behind bars."

Seeing as we're going in circles I chose to enter the bar and grab Jackie. Inside I scanned the room for Herc first, to make sure he wasn't despondent. But there was nothing to worry about as he was laughing with our buddies at the bar. Suddenly he turned and we locked eyes. He puckered his lips and I winked before moving on with my hunt. I scanned the large room teeming with patchies and chasers, (none bikers). In the end I found her sitting on a guy's lap at the other end of the bar. I caught her eye and waved her over and gave me a grimace. She kissed the dude's cheek and downed her beer before coming over. I couldn't help snickering at her pace as it reminded me of the twins when I tell them it's bedtime. However she didn't find me amusing and her grimace widened to a scowl.

"What's up boss?" Jackie jutted her hip as she crossed her arms.

I don't get it, but this pose seems to be all girls' favorite pose.

I shook my head and remembered I hadn't answered Jackie.

"Jackie my favor-."

"Uh huh. Sure I am as I'm the only helpful one in this place." She rolled her eyes and tapped her foot impatiently.

"I agree. A hundred percent. Now could you help me with an errand..outside?"

"Now?" Her eyes turned dark as her look turned scarry.

I nodded and smiled with clenched teeth.

"How long will it take, I'm trying to score with Mr. Hot-Stuff. I doubt with all the chasers, he'll wait for me."

"I'm not sure, it depends how you can move the errand."

"Move the errand? What are you on about?"

"You'll see," I bitterly smiled and led her outside where Rosalinda was still frozen in place.

"Oh ho. She's the errand?" Jackie glanced at me and I nodded.

"Hello are you frozen?" Jackie stepped in front of her and waved her hand in Rosalinda's face.

"I'm obviously not frozen, you stupid bimbo." Rosalinda moved her hands to her hips.

"I don't wanna wreck my fit, so I'll pretend you didn't insult me. Now as for you, what do you want me to about her?"
